💖 probe(1) — The Computational Morphometry Toolkit 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're about to read pixels like it's the group chat and someone just sent a screenshot 👀

✨ NAME ✨

probe — probe image data. that's it, that's the whole job, and honestly? iconic. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

probe InputImage

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically this tool prints pixel values or symbolic labels at a list of image coordinates that you hand it. you pick the spots, it tells you what's there. no cap. 🔥

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

🌈 Global Toolkit Options (these are shared by all CMTK tools)

like, every CMTK tool has these. they're the communal snacks of the toolkit. 🍓

  • --help — writes the list of basic command line options to standard output. ur little starter pack ✨
  • --help-all — writes the complete list of basic AND advanced command line options to standard output. the deluxe edition, the director's cut 💅
  • --wiki — writes the list of command line options to standard output in MediaWiki markup. for when u need it all wiki-fied 🫶
  • --man — writes man page source in 'nroff' markup to standard output. yes, manpage-ception, we love to see it 😭
  • --version — writes toolkit version to standard output. version check, always 🧚
  • --echo — writes the current command line to standard output. it's giving receipts ✨
  • --verbose-level <integer> — sets the verbosity level. dial it up, dial it down 🌸
  • --verbose, -v — increments the verbosity level by 1. ngl bestie, this one is deprecated; it's only supported for backward compatibility. still works, we just don't hype it 💀
  • --threads <integer> — sets the maximum number of parallel threads (for POSIX threads and OpenMP). parallelize and prosper 👑

💜 Main Options

this is where the real main character energy lives 🎀

  • --coordinates — coordinate specification mode. supported values are "absolute", "indexed", "relative", "physical", where the default is "absolute", or use one of the following:
    • --absolute — use absolute volume coordinates. for each dimension, the valid range is [0,FOV]. [This is the default] ⭐
    • --indexed — use grid indexes to specify coordinates. for each dimension, the valid value range is [0,Dims-1]. 🔢
    • --relative — use relative volume coordinates. for each dimension, the valid range is [0,1]. 🌸
    • --physical — use physical volume coordinates. each given location is transformed into image coordinates via the inverse of the images's index-to-physical space matrix. (yes, "images's" — we keep it exactly as written, no editing the source, periodt ✋)
  • --interpolation — image interpolation method. supported values are "nn", "linear", "cubic", "pv", "sinc-cosine", "sinc-hamming", where the default is "nn", or use one of the following:
    • --nn — nearest neighbor interpolation [This is the default] ⭐
    • --linear — trilinear interpolation 📈
    • --cubic — tricubic interpolation 📈📈
    • --pv — partial volume interpolation 🧊
    • --sinc-cosine — sinc interpolation with cosine window 🌊
    • --sinc-hamming — sinc interpolation with Hamming window 🐝
  • --sinc-window-radius <integer> — window radius for Sinc interpolation [Default: 3]. three. that's the vibe 🎀
  • --no-reorient — disables image reorientation into RAS alignment. if u don't want the reorient glow-up, this is ur girl 🦋

ok that's the whole page, u ate it, u understood it, u are now a probe(1) girlie 🫶 slay responsibly, and remember: pixels are just numbers with main character energy 🌈
